What can I do about gaps in my deck railing? ( for dogs & children)

Question

There is a railing on my deck that has large spaces in the design of the railing. The spaces are more than 4" wide. I am concerned that my little dog and/or little children might be able to slip through and fall off the deck. Is there some sort of clear material I can wrap around the inside of the railing that will provide safety that no one can slip through? Thanks. Karen Mangione

Various companies do make and sell railing shields. Here's one available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XY6XGTY/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_x_0kFPzbCG6C9T1

You can always buy sheets of plexi - I've seen folks with these around their patios. Drill holes and zip tie them to your railings.

Buy a inexpensive roll of what is called 'chicken wire', unroll and staple it on the railing, with a staple gun.

I used shade cloth I purchased at Home Depot they sell it by the yard by weaving it in and out between the posts and stapling it in place( top middle bottom) it allows air to circulate ,creates privacy added some color& doesn't allow anything to fall through.
